<p>Futureholds makes a really good point about finding out your high school policy about taking the AP exams and your grade/credit for the course in high school. Sequoia also makes a very good point about needing to know your major and how the APs might meet the requirements.</p>
<p>My son came in with 11 AP tests, received the 32 credits, but when push comes to shove, a lot of the APs did not count for course credit in his Engineering program. The most valuable APs for Engineering students are Calculus BC and Physics. It is also valuable to take the APs which actually give you General Ed. credit. I was disappointed that despite getting a 5 on AP World History, it does not count for General Ed. courses (but AP Art History, AP European History, and AP U.S. History counts, at least this past year).</p>
